Our society runs annual public open nights, for which the local newspapers give us some publicity-we also contact radio stations, etc-anywhere we can get publicity.
We do a Friday and saturday night and if the weather is good, we can get over 1000 people over the 2 nights. This stirs interest and we get some new members out of it.
The other thing is we run an introductory course in astronomy, which runs one night a week for about 8 weeks-again it is publicised, and we gain a lot of new members from it. The society charges a fee for this, and the open nights, and it helps the club finances.
